1 REFRACTORIES & METALLURGY w LUBRICANTS w ENGINEERING w BATTERIES Who we are Nordic is a leading processor and supplier of rigorously quality inspected natural graphite materials, focused on ensuring the highest performance in your applications. Adhering to a philosophy of Total Quality Management and continuous process improvement, Nordic s processing plant comply with ISO 9001:2008. Nordic, building upon over 115 years experience of flake graphite production in Europe s leading flake- graphite region in Norway, is committed to produce highly specialized graphite materials for today s and tomorrow s customers needs. Quality is a serious matter for Nordic. We strive to supply products and services that meet the needs of our customers by understanding their present and future requirements. Our quality control systems are designed to improve efficiency and ensure customer satisfaction. Our structure guarantees a continuous control of operations as well as the monitoring of all process parameters. Nordic recognizes its role and responsibility as a corporate citizen, and as such is concerned with the protection of our environment for present and future generations. Nordic complies with all applicable laws and regulations in all countries where it is present. Nordic has a core value to protect the health & safety of its employees and requires a safe working environment at all locations. Structure Based on decades of hands- on industry experience, we offer fast and on demand delivery in Europe from our UK processing center and warehouse in Scunthorpe. In addition we have developed sales of specialist grades direct from production to customers on a CIF destination port basis. Our hubs in Belgium, Norway, Finland, Switzerland, Korea, US, and Brazil are strategically located to serve customers cost- effectively.

2 Precision processing of granular materials has been a core competency of the Nordic team for decades. Nordic consistently delivers high- quality, uniquely- sized materials with the correct morphology to meet the most sensitive customer requirements. We deliver particle size distributions based on customer needs from millimeter down to micron scale. We work with a full range of materials including refined flake, flake concentrates, amorphous, and vein natural graphites. Natural We focus on natural graphite because of its proven nature- derived cost - and vast environmental emissions advantage over synthetic graphite and artificially produced carbons. Flake graphite is a naturally occurring form of graphite. It is the strongest and lightest material with the highest melting point on earth. It is further distinguished by being inert, non- toxic and impermeable to all matter including gases, with uniquely high thermal and electric conductivity, and up to 25% stretch - ability. Flake graphite has been proven in many applications including powder metallurgy, fuel cell bipolar plates, coatings, thermal materials, friction moderators, electrically conductive materials, refractories, general lubricant applications, pencils, gaskets, rubber compounds and construction materials. It is lab- demonstrated to potentially replace silicon and copper in its key applications because of its above qualities, including superconductivity at room temperature. Carbon Content: % Particle sizes: 20 mesh to 1 μm Expandable flake graphite is an intercalation compound of graphite, which exfoliates when heated. This material is manufactured by treating flake graphite with various intercalation reagents. These reagents migrate between the graphene layers of a graphite crystal and remain as stable species. If exposed to a rapid increase in temperature, the decomposition of the intercalants develops enough force to push apart the graphene layers resulting in an increase in the volume of the graphite of up to 300 times, a lowering of bulk density and approximately a 10- fold increase in surface area. Carbon Content: % Expansion ratio: ml/g ph: 2-8 Proprietary Products

3 Our Signature ne families of graphite materials redefine the performance standards of many applications such as foundry, refractories, friction materials, oil drilling, lubricants, batteries, and fuel cells. A range of specialized products is offered especially to Foundries and high quality Steel Making, Crucibles/Refractories, Lubricants, Batteries, and Expandable. Niche markets we have developed uniquely competitive offerings for include high quality low sulphur Recarburizer in Cast Irons including Gray Iron and Ductile Iron, and better value substitute carbons for Aluminium Cathode and Anodes. Our R&D division is together with leading European R&D institutions and global industrial partners developing the ne product series for Supercapacitors and Fuel Cells and for enhancing Construction Materials such as paving, concretes and grouting materials. Logistics and security of supply We have the expertise in international shipping, trade, banking and customs to ship our products anywhere in the world very competitively, and we offer a single point of contact for all stages from enquiry to delivery. We ensure long- term supply security to our customers in Europe by currently restarting several key historically producing high- grade flake graphite mines in the Nordic Countries, and we have long- standing partnerships with selected leading producers of specialized grades in Europe and in other parts of the world. Our partner company and UK production and warehouse facility manager Carbide Industries Ltd became ISO accredited in 2005 by DnV, a world leader in quality management system approvals, and is fully compliant with its latest 9001:2008 standard.
